A Weekend with the Redlegs

Erica and I spent the weekend going to the Reds games on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Saturday we went with our friend Amy, and the Robles family. We sat in the all-you-can-eat seats on Saturday and were highly entertained with Eva and RJ Robles. RJ was the Reds #1 fan because he never stopped clapping (except for the nap he took from the fifth inning to the ninth). It was a beautiful day and a great game, although the Reds lost.





We returned to Great American Ballpark on Sunday for the third game in the series versus the Brewers. We went with a number of our friends who are in Erica's graduate school cohort. It was the best game I've ever seen live. The Reds came back to score three runs in the bottom of the 10th. The coolest thing that happened during the game was a homerun was landed right in front of us! It hit the guy's hands right in front of Erica, and it fell down. The guy next to him picked it up and kept it. If there had been no one in the ballpark, the ball would have landed in Erica's seat! It was pretty amazing. I've never been that close to a homerun.

Anyhow, here are some pictures from the weekend. Both games went into the 10th inning -- bonus baseball!
